In 2023, it was estimated that there were 411,100 Australians living with dementia. Based on Australian Institute of Health and Welfare estimates, this is equivalent to 15 people with dementia per 1,000 Australians, which increases to 84 people with dementia per 1,000 Australians aged 65 and over. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of Australians with dementia are women.
